Bumpers & Grilles

Bumpers and Grilles for Sale

This category is where we list the bumpers and grilles we sell. It covers heavy steel off-road bumpers with winch plates, plastic bumper covers, the metal reinforcement beams that sit behind the covers, fog lamp grille covers and front grilles for cars, SUVs and semi trucks. Everything shown above can be ordered online, and each product page gives the vehicle, the years, the OE or partslink number and what comes in the box.

People usually land here for one of two reasons. Either a minor knock has cracked a bumper cover, a grille or a fog lamp surround and they want a direct replacement that bolts on in the factory holes, or they own a Jeep Wrangler and want a stronger front bumper that can carry a winch. We stock both kinds.

Below you will find the list of bumpers and grilles with their main specs, what each part does, how to match the right part to your vehicle, what is involved in fitting it, painting and finishing tips, and answers to the questions buyers ask most.

What Bumpers and Grilles Actually Do

The painted bumper you see on a modern car is mostly a cover. It is a plastic skin shaped for looks and airflow, and it absorbs very light knocks. The real crash protection sits behind it: a reinforcement beam, usually steel or aluminium, bolted to crush cans or brackets on the chassis rails. Between the beam and the cover there is often foam or plastic energy absorber. When people say a car needs a new bumper after a parking knock, they usually mean the cover. After a harder hit, the beam or rail may also be bent, and it should be replaced, because a bent beam will not protect you properly the next time.

Bumper height and strength are set by safety rules in many countries. If you want to read about how bumper design developed and why the standards exist, the car bumper article on Wikipedia is a good summary.

The grille has a different job. It lets air through to the radiator, the A/C condenser and on turbo cars the intercooler, while keeping stones and debris out. Fog lamp grille covers do the same around the fog lights and finish off the shape of the bumper. A cracked or missing grille is not only a cosmetic problem: stones can then hit the condenser and radiator fins, and in a later knock the fog lamp can be damaged too.

Off-road steel bumpers are a different idea. They replace the factory cover and beam with a single heavy steel unit, designed to take knocks on trails, give better approach angles and, most importantly, provide a strong mounting plate for a winch.

When to Replace Bumpers and Grilles

  • Cracks or splits in the cover: small cracks spread with vibration and temperature changes, and the cover can start to flap at speed.
  • Broken mounting tabs: if the cover hangs low or has a gap at the wing, the clips or tabs have snapped.
  • Bent beam or rail: after a front-end impact, check behind the cover. If the beam is bent or the crush cans are folded, replace them.
  • Cracked or missing grille slats: leave the radiator and condenser open to stone damage.
  • Missing fog lamp cover: exposes the fog lamp and its wiring to water and grit.
  • Upgrading for off-road use: fitting a winch or wanting a stronger bumper for trails.

How to Choose the Right Bumpers and Grilles

  1. Year range and facelift. Many models change the bumper shape at a facelift. The RAV4 rail we sell covers 2014-2018, while the Highlander rear lower cover is only for 2011-2013. Check yours.
  2. Trim level. Sport and standard trims often have different covers and grilles. The Audi fog grille cover is listed for A4 sedans and the S4. Our Wrangler bumpers fit JK models, and the X-style bumper also fits the JL.
  3. OE and partslink numbers. Body shops use partslink numbers like TO1115102, HO1006204 and TO1006247. If you have a quote from a repairer or an old part with a number, match it.
  4. Sensors and cameras. If your car has parking sensors, headlamp washers or a front camera, check that the new cover has the holes or mounts for them, or plan to cut them carefully.
  5. Finish. Covers usually come in black primer or textured black. Primed covers need painting to match. Textured covers, like the Highlander lower cover, are normally fitted as they come.
  6. For winch bumpers, check the winch plate size and your planned winch weight, and whether you need a light bar or shackle mounts.

Fitting Bumpers and Grilles

Bumper covers and grilles

On most cars the front cover comes off with a set of clips under the wheel arches, screws along the bottom, and bolts at the top behind the grille or under the bonnet. Disconnect fog lamps and sensors before pulling it away. Transfer any brackets, grilles and trims from the old cover to the new one. Fit the new cover loosely first and check the gaps at the wings and headlights before you tighten anything. Grilles and fog covers usually clip in, though some need the cover removed to reach the screws behind them.

Reinforcement beams and rails

The beam is held by four to six bolts to the chassis rails. With the cover removed, support the beam, undo the bolts and swap it over. Use new bolts if the old ones are rusted or stretched. If the chassis rail tips themselves are bent, that is a job for a body shop with a measuring bench.

Steel winch bumpers

A steel Wrangler bumper is heavy, so have a second person or a jack to hold it. Remove the factory bumper, keep the frame bolts if the kit uses them, and bolt the new bumper on. Fit the winch to the plate before or after mounting, depending on the bumper design. Route the winch cables away from sharp edges and hot parts, and use a fuse or circuit breaker on the power cable. Recheck the bolts after the first drive and after your first off-road trip.

Painting and Looking After Your New Parts

Primed bumper covers should be scuffed, cleaned with a plastic-safe degreaser and given an adhesion promoter before colour and clear coat. Most paint shops can mix the colour from your paint code, usually found on a sticker in the door jamb. Textured plastic covers and grilles need only a wash and a plastic trim protector to stop fading in strong sun.

Powder-coated steel bumpers last best if you touch up stone chips quickly. Bare steel left exposed will rust, especially where roads are salted in winter. A wash under the bumper after muddy or salty drives goes a long way.

Please trial-fit a bumper cover before painting it, because painted parts are usually harder to return.

Bumpers and Grilles FAQ

Do bumper covers come painted?

Most replacement covers come in primer or a textured black finish. Primed covers need to be painted to match your car. Check the finish on each product page.

Is the reinforcement beam the same as the bumper?

No. The beam is the metal bar behind the plastic cover. It does most of the crash protection. A light knock may only damage the cover, but a heavier one can bend the beam too.

Will a steel winch bumper fit with my factory fog lights?

It depends on the bumper. Many off-road bumpers have their own light mounts. Check the product photos and description for light openings.

Do I need a winch to use a winch bumper?

No. The bumper works fine without one, and you can add a winch later. The plate is there when you are ready.

Can I fit a bumper cover myself?

On most cars, yes, with basic tools and some patience. The hardest part is usually the hidden clips. Fitting a beam or a steel bumper is also a home job for many people, as long as you have help lifting it.

How do I find my partslink number?

A body shop estimate usually lists it, and many aftermarket parts carry it on a label. You can also match by your vehicle year, model and trim, which we list in every product title.

The Parts Behind the Bumper Cover

What most people call the bumper is really a set of parts. The outer bumper cover, or fascia, is the painted plastic panel you see. Behind it sits an energy absorber made of foam or plastic honeycomb. Behind that is the bumper reinforcement, also called the impact bar or bumper beam, made of steel or aluminium and bolted to the frame rails, sometimes through crush boxes designed to fold in a collision. Around these are brackets, clips, the lower valance and often grilles for fog lights and air intakes. After even a small front or rear collision, any of these can be damaged even when the cover looks fine.

This collection includes structural parts like the Honda Civic aluminium front bumper reinforcement and the Toyota RAV4 steel bumper reinforcement, outer trim such as the Toyota Highlander rear lower valance, and smaller pieces like the Audi A4 and S4 fog light grille covers.

Why the Reinforcement Matters

The bumper reinforcement is what spreads the force of an impact across the frame. If it is bent or cracked, the car will not protect its occupants as well in the next collision, and parking sensors or radar units mounted nearby may sit at the wrong angle. Always replace a damaged reinforcement rather than straightening it, and inspect the crush boxes and frame rail ends at the same time. If your vehicle has adaptive cruise control or collision warning radar behind the bumper or grille, the system may need recalibrating after repairs.

Off-Road Steel Bumpers

Steel off-road bumpers for the Jeep Wrangler JK and JL replace the factory plastic bumper entirely. They are built to take knocks on trails, provide recovery points, and most include a winch plate so you can mount a winch. Before buying one, check the weight. A steel bumper and winch together can add a lot of weight to the front axle, so many owners upgrade the front springs to stop the front sagging. Also check whether the bumper keeps the factory fog lights, has mounts for LED lights, and works with your parking sensors. Our X-style front bumper with winch plate and steel bull bar bumper are good starting points, and you can match them with a winch from our winches collection.

Grilles, Airflow and Cooling

The front grille is not just for looks. It lets air reach the radiator, condenser and intercooler while blocking larger stones. When you replace a grille, make sure the new one has a similar open area, especially on trucks that tow or work hard in heat. Grilles with bug screens, like the International ProStar chrome grille with bug screen, keep insects and debris off the cooling stack, but the screen needs cleaning now and then so airflow is not blocked. The Ford Escape radiator carrier support grille is a structural part that also holds the cooling components in place.

Matching Trim Levels and Styles

Many vehicles use different bumpers, grilles and fog light covers depending on the trim level or sport package. A grille for the base model may not fit the sport model, and an M Sport or S line bumper uses different fog light covers from the standard bumper. Check your trim level, compare the photos with your car, and match the part number when one is listed. For BMW owners, our BMW E90 series front grille lists the exact body codes it fits.

Repair or Replace a Bumper Cover?

Small scuffs and minor cracks in a plastic bumper cover can often be repaired by a body shop with plastic welding and filler. Larger tears, broken mounting tabs or deep gouges usually mean replacement is quicker and gives a better finish. If the mounting tabs are broken, the cover will never sit flush, so replacement is the right call. Whichever way you go, budget for paint and clear coat to match your car.

More Questions About Bumpers and Grilles

Do I need to paint a new bumper cover?

Most replacement bumper covers come in black primer and need painting to match your car. Textured black parts, like many lower valances, can be fitted unpainted.

Will a new grille fit my trim level?

Not always. Sport, luxury and base trims often use different grilles. Check the trim and the photos, and match the part number if one is listed.

Is a steel off-road bumper legal on the road?

In many places, yes, but some regions have rules on bumper height, protrusions and covering sharp edges. Check local rules, especially if you add a bull bar.

Can I reuse my parking sensors?

Usually, if the new bumper has the right holes and brackets for them. Off-road bumpers may need sensor relocation brackets. Check before you buy.

Does a heavy steel bumper affect handling?

Yes, it adds weight to the front axle, which can make the front sag and slow the steering response. Upgraded front springs can restore the ride height.

What is a bumper reinforcement made of?

Usually steel or aluminium. It is the structural bar behind the cover that absorbs and spreads crash forces.

Bumper Clips, Brackets and Small Parts

When a bumper cover is knocked, the cover itself often survives but the plastic clips, brackets and retainers that hold it break. The bumper then sags, sits unevenly with the headlights or flaps at speed. Before buying a new bumper cover, check whether the brackets behind it are the real problem. New brackets and clips are cheap and can make a loose bumper sit perfectly again. When fitting a new bumper cover, use new clips rather than reusing old ones, because old plastic clips lose their grip.

Headlight and Fog Light Alignment After Bumper Work

Bumper and grille work can disturb the headlights and fog lights, especially when the repair involves the radiator support. After the job, check that the headlights and fog lights are aimed correctly against a wall on level ground. Misaimed lights dazzle other drivers and can fail an inspection. Find lighting parts in our lighting collection.

Rust Protection for Steel Bumpers

Steel off-road bumpers are usually powder-coated or painted. Stone chips and scrapes on trails can break through the coating, and rust starts at those spots. Touch up chips promptly with a matching paint, rinse off road salt in winter, and check behind the bumper where mud collects.

Insurance Repairs and Aftermarket Parts

If your bumper or grille was damaged in a collision covered by insurance, your insurer or body shop may choose the parts. Some policies specify original manufacturer parts, while others allow quality aftermarket parts. If you are paying for the repair yourself, aftermarket bumper reinforcements, covers and grilles can save a lot of money compared with dealer parts. Always choose structural parts, like reinforcement bars, that match the original design and are listed for your exact vehicle, because they matter for crash protection.

If you are unsure which bumper part, grille or reinforcement your vehicle needs, send us your VIN, trim level and a photo of the damaged area through our request a part page, and we will check what fits.

Every bumper and grille part on this page lists its vehicle fitment and part numbers where available.
